Drawing Music :: Cyro Baptista

An impromptu carinval, anybody? With Cyro Baptista, Brazilian jazz & world music percussionist? I'm there! Tonight, at the SVA theater in the city. All I had on me was a pencil and an ink pen, so that had to make do. But, after I got home, I couldn't resist adding some color-it WAS a Brazilian carnival, after all! The stage was covered with all kinds of sound-making devices and a multitude of musicians. It looked and sounded like the Tower Of Babel. *not iPhone art

Thanks for the great drawings of us. I especially like the one of me on theremin. And yes that wonderful contraption is called the tambourine tree. Thanks for documenting the show in such an amazingly creative way.
